Journalism
Over the years I have worked in every job in the newsroom, from leading editorial teams as an editor, designing and sub editing pages (on national and regional titles), running news and features desks and interviewing and reporting. Writing is in my blood and I am trained to spot opportunities and stories.
I am hired as a journalist by industries outside the media too and can provide services such as:
